NorthEast United FC's performance in the Indian Super League (ISL) and the AFC competition. The team had a strong start in the domestic league with five consecutive wins, setting a record for the best start in ISL history. However, they faced challenges in the AFC tournament, failing to secure a top-two finish in a group that included Odisha FC.
Despite the setback in the AFC competition, the focus now appears to be on consolidating resources and performance in the domestic league. The unavailability of multiple players might be a hurdle, but concentrating efforts on the ISL could be a strategic move.
In the recent four encounters, NorthEast United FC has drawn and suffered two defeats each, putting them two points behind the sixth-placed Chennaiyin FC. With the league becoming more competitive in the middle of the table, maintaining and improving their position is crucial for NorthEast United FC. Juan Pedro Benali, the coach, is likely prioritizing strategies to prevent the season from derailing and ensuring a strong performance in the league.
